IVDR Certification
This probe is IVDR-certified in compliance with the Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR). For organizational reasons, we currently provide only the IVDD product.
The XL 6q21/6q23/6cen probe is a qualitative, non-automated test for the detection of deletions of the SEC63 gene region at 6q21 and the MYB gene region at 6q23 by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). A centromere 6 specific reference is included. The product is intended as a diagnostic aid and assists in disease monitoring. The test population consists of patients with confirmed or suspected acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), non-Hodgkin-lymphomas (NHL) and T-/NK-large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-/NK-LGL). Hybridization is to be performed on methanol/acetic-acid fixed cells derived from bone marrow or peripheral blood for ALL, CLL and T-/NK-LGL and on methanol/acetic-acid fixed cells derived from involved lymph node, involved bone marrow or other involved tissue for NHL.
The XL 6q21/6q23/6cen probe consists of a green-labeled probe hybridizing to the SEC63 gene region at 6q21, an orange-labeled probe hybridizing to the MYB gene region at 6q23.3 and an aqua-labeled probe hybridizing to the centromere of chromosome 6.
XL 6q21/6q23/6cen hybridized to lymphocytes. Two normal interphases are shown.
Normal Cell:
Two green (2G), two orange (2O), and two blue (2B) signals.
Aberrant Cell (typical results):
Two blue (2B), one green (1G) and one orange (1O) signal resulting from the loss of one green and one orange signal.
Aberrant Cell (typical results):
Two blue (2B), two green (2G) and one orange (1O) signal resulting from the loss of one orange signal.
Aberrant Cell (typical results):
Two blue (2B), one green (1G) and two orange (2O) signals resulting from the loss of one green signal.
